What is the title of the theme song for the sitcom Friends?

The theme song for the sitcom Friends is “I’ll Be There for You.”

The song was performed by the American pop-rock duo the Rembrandts and released as a single in 1995. It was written by the Rembrandts with Friends creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman, along with songwriters Danny Wilde and Phil Solem. The opening credits use a shortened version of the recording.

The song became closely associated with the series because each episode opened with the six main cast members dancing around a fountain. The video and the television opening both helped make the track recognizable beyond the show itself.

A common mix-up is confusing the song with “You’ve Got a Friend,” written by Carole King and famously recorded by James Taylor. That song is not the Friends theme. “I’ll Be There for You” also became a major international hit, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart.
